My Book Blurb:

"A gritty and fast-moving fantasy from a promising new voice." - Kirkus Reviews (✔️’GET IT’ Recommended)

“Pulse-pounding action, bloody trauma, and intricate worldbuilding — Mercy smacks you in the face out of the gate.” - Philip Chase, Author of the Edan Trilogy

"This is one of the most dangerously ambitious and boldly imaginative debuts I have ever read." - GRIMDARK MAGAZINE (Esmay Rosalyne)

"This is going to be something enormously special. This is a debut that demands people's attention." - John Minton, Talking Story and one of the Authors of Discovery

"This will undoubtedly go down as one of the best fantasy debuts this year; if not the best." - Zachary Shaye of Shaye's Library


Relics of the past scattered. A hero broken. A world on the brink.

A paragon left for dead, Alevist Lightseeker sought peace—but peace had other plans.
Thirty four years past, the blade he buried must rise again. As he hunts the ones who shattered his world, another exile awakens—Erevayn. A man drunk on grief and bound by blood. A minstrel must bring the two together in a war against a rising ill fate.

Viyala, a lost love, unexpectedly returns and sparks a fire in Erevayn—but will it be enough to quell his thirst for vengeance? And will the world unfolding around her offer the chance for the future she has long desired?

Salasmir, Blade of the Reckoning, must answer the call of duty once again.

Hayde and Neera, twins of the Stained, hunt for sacred artifacts for their false king. Steyvin and Ilatu must travel across the Sundered Sea in order to do the same, but for their once wise father—who holds damning secrets of his own.

The Tears awaken—and call to the broken.
Two men, one path, and no Gods left to help them.
Some martyrs stay dead. Others—become legend.

For fans of Elden Ring, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, and Joe Abercrombie comes an epic series where blades crash, kingdoms fall, and fate is never as it seems.
